The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the village of Lysogorskaya was built in 1886 by craftsmen from Voronezh, invited by the Cossacks. The dimensions of the church were determined by the length of a sheep's skin, cut into narrow strips. There is a legend: the Cossacks approached Ataman Bryantsev for permission to build, bringing as a gift the best ram. The Ataman accepted the gift and agreed, but on the condition that the church must fit on the ram's skin. The Cossacks cut the skin into thin ribbons and joined them into a long rope. They took a long time to choose a place for the church, arguing at the Cossack circle. A lot was cast, and little Vasyutka Amehina drew a paper indicating the place where the church was built. The Cossacks marked the dimensions of the future building with stakes, stretched a rope, and invited the Ataman, who was pleased and approved the construction. The church was built from wooden beams, secured in grooves, without the use of nails. The laborers were soldiers from the Catherine era, who had committed offenses during the Russo-Turkish War (1875-1877).

The church was consecrated in 1898, with the main altar dedicated to the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Construction took place from 1875 to 1877 (or 1886-1887). During the construction of the church at the end of the 19th century, trenches were dug for the foundation, and imported stone was laid. While the stone settled, timber was brought in from the Don River. The walls were built without nails, in grooves. The roof was immediately covered with iron. Bells were installed: one large weighing 500 kg on the left bell tower and six smaller ones on the right. In 1935, the bells were removed and sent for melting. The need for a new church was related to the relocation of the village to the other bank of the Podkumok River.

The church was closed from 1937 to 1942. The parish was preserved thanks to the chairman of the collective farm, Piskaryov N.A., who insisted on using the church for a grain mill, installing threshers in it. For this, Nikolai Arkhipovich was prosecuted. From 1937 to 1940, there was a reading hut in the baptistery, and from 1940 to 1942, a school and a hospital.

The church has been preserved in its original form; restoration of the iconostasis was carried out, but the craftsmen only restored the missing details, maintaining the internal appearance. In 1979, the right choir was slightly extended.
